Ep.128 Nature as my Co-Guide with Clara Schroeder

In this conversation with eco-therapist and author Clara Schroeder, we explore what happens when you stop trying to "fix" nature and start remembering you are nature. We talk about everyday, practical ways to reconnect—whether you're in a forest, a city park, or standing by your kitchen windowsill with a houseplant. If you've felt anxious, lonely, or creatively flat, this episode offers a grounded path back to belonging and resilience. You'll gain: clarity on why disconnection feels so heavy, gentle practices to re-attune your senses, and a new perspective on letting Nature co-guide your life. What You'll Learn About Nature Therapy for Anxiety 🌱 Ecotherapy 101: invite the land to co-lead your healing (even in cities). 🌱 Micro-rituals that work: breath, morning beverage gratitude, and "place-based" noticing. 🌱 Houseplants as teachers of adaptation, reciprocity, and rhythm. 🌱 Community matters: we're not meant to do this alone. ✨ Resources ✨ 🌱 Expanded Show Notes [https://tigrillagardenia.com/podcast] 🌱 Clara's book: Re-Nature: How Nature Helps Us Feel Better and Do Better [https://www.claraschroeder.com/book] 🌱 Naturally Conscious Community (NCC) — discussions, classes, live events [https://community.tigrillagardenia.com] 🌱 Sprouts Writing & Creativity Group [https://tigrillagardenia.com/sprouts-writing-and-creativity-group] 🌱 Plant Wisdom Book Club [https://tigrillagardenia.com/plant-wisdom-book-club] 🔗 Connect & Explore More 🌿 Website [https://tigrillagardenia.com/] 🌿 Contact [https://tigrillagardenia.com/contact-tigrilla-gardenia/] 🌿 Shop Eco-Conscious Partners [https://tigrillagardenia.com/shop] Socials 📸 Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/tigrillagardenia/?hl=en] 📘 Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/tigrillagardenia] 💼 LinkedIn [https://it.linkedin.com/in/tigrillagardenia?trk=public_post_feed-actor-name] ▶️ YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@tigrillagardenia] 🎵 Credits Opening + Closing music by @Cyberinga and Poinsettia
